The unyielding focus of Marine Corps Gazetteand Leatherneck is Marines – what they do, where they serve, how they are equipped and organized and how they deal with the issues facing them. We feel that our periodicals are a first rate benefit of MCA&F membership and the digital versions are a quantum increase in the value of that benefit.Leatherneck delivers another gripping issue in October with a feature story on the unbelievable exploits of larger than life Marine legend – Pete Ortiz; looks at a gritty fight on Korean War Hill 812; fondly remembers the versatile A-4 Skyhawk; examines the introduction of a strange chocolate concoction as a WWII ration and much more.Marine Corps Gazette stays in the fray with controversial articles examining current issues of interest to Marines in the widest range of occupational specialties and operational fronts. October's edition looks closely at Marine Reconnaissance, explores NEO Ops, dissects the organization of Marine Law Enforcement Battalions, explores projecting power in littoral areas, makes a case for a presence in Africa and features a must read leadership article with a provocative title - "Flying Monkey Leadership" among a host of other stimulating articles.Click the links to start:
